A nine-year-old child is among those killed in Tripoli, northern Lebanon, in the clashes that followed the funeral of General Wissam al-Hassan, according to Lebanon's Daily Star.

Supporters of Syria's President Assad clashed with supporters of the uprisings against Assad in gun fights that lasted through Sunday evening into Monday morning. Meanwhile approximately 50 people have erected tents near the Prime Minister's resident in Tripoli, vowing to stay until he resigns.
